continued until everybody got very
weary. Holloway claimed that the terms
of the contract had been violated in some
manner, and if the judges insisted on max
ing him trOt the third heat he would enter
protests. They insisted and he entered
the protests, but it was plain to be seen
that the race was fake" from beginning
to end and was dIed up for the money
that could be made ont Of il. The judges
were Messrs A. Hamilton, Park AID Harry
